St Hugo Signature Cabernet Shiraz 2023

St Hugo Signature Cabernet Shiraz 2023 brings together Coonawarra's structured elegance and Barossa Valley's richness in a classic Australian red blend. Full-bodied and concentrated, with firm tannins, integrated oak and a long, savoury finish, this is a wine that rewards both the table and the cellar.

Tasting Notes

Dark plum, blackcurrant and blackberry lead the palate, supported by layers of chocolate, cedar, tobacco and warm spice. The Coonawarra fruit contributes structure and definition, while the Barossa component adds depth, generosity and mid-palate richness. Tannins are firm and chalky, framed by balanced freshness and integrated oak through a long, lingering finish.

Coonawarra & Barossa Valley

The Signature Cabernet Shiraz draws fruit from two of South Australia's most distinguished wine regions. Coonawarra's celebrated terra rossa soils produce Cabernet of exceptional structure and varietal clarity. Barossa Valley contributes the richness, warmth and depth characteristic of its old-vine Shiraz. The combination is a hallmark of Australian red winemaking — structural precision from the south, generosity and power from the north.

St Hugo Signature

The Signature range reflects St Hugo's commitment to showcasing classic Australian varieties and regions through a consistent house style. The Cabernet Shiraz is a centrepiece of the range, expressing the enduring tradition of blending Cabernet and Shiraz in South Australia.
